Emma is the New Bitch

Not a funny chapter, kinda serious. It's an Emma-centric chapter.

Emma 

Two Years Ago

Middle school lunch is the worst. As I sit in the stall, I look down at myself. I'm wearing beat up converse and different colored socks. These are the only socks I own. I have ripped sweatpants and windbreaker I found on the street. I cry for the hundredth time today. I take another bite out of my sandwich. I open my backpack to revisit the slight hope I have in my life: An invitation to a PARTY. A cool girl's party! I hug the paper and put it back in my backpack. I hear the door open.

"You're inviting Emma Soden to your party?!" Someone says.

"Yeah. I figured she needed a little... fun in her life." Another one says.

That was Kailey Lesser! She's SO cool! I can't believe she thinks I'm cool enough! The two girls laugh a little bit and leave the bathroom. I hear the bell ring and I gather my stuff.

Present

Here I am, eating by myself for lunch again. You know, at least I'm not in the bathroom this time. I have my OWN table.

"OH MY GOD! IS THAT EMMA SODEN?!" A voice says.

I see a girl in a beige uniform walking towards me. She sits down with me.

"I am a HUGE fan! I made that fanart that you reposted! That was right before I murdered someone at the SAME night!" She says, "I'm Bertha!"

"Wow... okay. Um, well I'm pretty sure my friends or my Daddy will bail me but whatever."

"I can be your wife!"

"OKAY. I don't need creeps around me right now. I am Emma Soden, as you know. What makes you think you have the authority to talk to me? Seriously, none of you girls have enough authority since you're all locked up here.

"So are you. You know, I knew you were a bitch, but I never knew you were a bitch to people who actually appreciate you." Bertha says as she leaves.

"Whatever!" I scream.

Two Years Ago

After lunch, I met up with my only friend, Nora. She hides in the Art Room for lunch, but I can't join art club since my mom won't let me. We are walking to the technology room in the basement. On the way there, I see Kailey walking towards us.

"Oh hello Emma!" Kailey says,"What are you talking to this loser?"

Kailey points at Nora. I look at Nora and she looks like she might cry. I look at Kailey. She's so cool! I must be cool, popular. Kailey is my key to that. After I get popular, I can get Nora popular so she'll forgive me! I push Nora into the locker.

"She was trying to talk to me! She had no authority!" I say.

"Authority. Nice word, Emmy." Kailey says as she laughs.

Nora runs away. I started to run after her, but I stopped. I turn around and see Kailey.

"Shall we go to technology, bestie?" Kailey says.

I walk towards Kailey and head to the technology room.

Present

I sit in my cell, looking at the window. What are my fans thinking about me right now?! I just need to suck it up, and tell my Daddy everything. He's rich enough to get me out of here. I walk up to the telephone lines.

"Hold it!" A policewoman says, "Where is your fine?" 

"Fine?" I ask.

"Every girl who wants to call, must pay for it."
